as an omnivore dating a vegetarian who doesn’t eat meat for ethical reasons i am so, so excited!!!

style savvy announcement or i riot

i only picked up 3 on a whim, haven’t played the rest, but based on the vids i’ve seen of 2 it does seem like more of the same.

my favorite thing is places that have a 20% gratuity automatically added to every bill to compensate employees fairly (i am begrudgingly accepting of this even though it should really just be on the menu price) but then have an extra line for tip on top of that. and sometimes that extra tip line calculates a tip for you based off of the already added 20% gratuity. insane.

poly bridge 3! very chill but still stimulating game where you get a variety of maps and scenarios to build bridges in. i did have to watch two hours of bridge building tutorials because my knowledge of physics is abysmal but if you passed a physics course in high school i doubt it’s nearly as challenging.

picked up yellowface by rf kuang and finished it the same day. recommended it to my partner, who also devoured it in three days.

highly recommend if you’re looking for an easy, juicy (in the way of reality tv, so a little anxiety inducing also) read that’s about ego, publishing, the literary establishment’s treatment of minority authors, the actual mechanisms of being cancelled, and the perils of being Extremely On Twitter. a very fun summer read.

absolutely backing up persona 4 golden, it’s such a treat especially if you liked persona 5! every so often i wish i could play p4 for the first time again, such a good game.
